Hello,
Who is currently building and still installing gas despite the current situation?
What are the reasons for choosing gas instead of an air-to-water heat pump?

Our shell construction is underway, and I am not excited about a heat pump.
No one can look into the crystal ball, but I believe that gas will remain indispensable for the next decades.

I can’t imagine generating even close to enough electricity with photovoltaics in winter to power the heat pump.

That’s not the point. You’re not living on a remote island or a mountain—you have the electrical grid available. Apart from salespeople promoting hydrogen systems, no one is seriously suggesting that every single-family home should become completely self-sufficient.
